1. The Word Of God
We believe the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the
original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and it
has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2 Peter 1:20-21
2. The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three
persons; that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute
distinct harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.
Deut. 6:4, 11 2 Cor. 13:14
3. God the Father
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in
holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe He concerns Himself mercifully in
the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin
and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
John 3:16, 1 Tim. 6:15-16, Eph. 4:6
4. Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived of the Holy
Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings.
We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension
into heaven, perpetual intersession for His people, and personal visible return
to earth.
Matt. 1:20-21, 1 Tim. 2:5-6, Acts 1:9-11
5. Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to
convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate,
sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy
Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper,
teacher, and guide.
John 14:16-17, John 16:8-11, Acts1:8
6. Creation and God's View of Hunting
We believe God created the cosmos and planet earth as a beautiful habitation
for mankind. We believe man, God's special creation, was given domain over the
earth, to partake of, and govern all its resources wisely. We further believe
that the art of hunting with bow and arrow is a time proven means of human
survival and resource management, and that it is in harmony with the divine
plan.
Gen. 1:1-31, Gen. 9:2-3, Gen. 10:9, Gen. 27:3
